Great match by Burroughs to beat the Russian! Wins the first period on a double to a leg lace (I think anyway) for 3 points to win 3-1. Looses second period 2-0 on a couple takedowns. Wins third period on a double leg takedown & then a push out to win 2-1.

Are u not allowed to pound on the head in freestyle?

The Russian is one of the cheapest, dirtiest wrestlers to ever take the mat. Last time they wrestled Tsargush ripped JB's singlet pulling for a take down. He always has his hand wrapped in his opponents straps. I can't weight to see the match

Thought that the Russian was whining quite a bit about the head tapping of Burroughs, but noticed the Reff was on Jordan almost right away even before The Russian complained so much.

Does anyone know, or can anyone give me a link, where/to Burroughs's matches? I couldn't find them.

Well, Burroughs goes almost directly from college to international and wins Worlds and Olympics (within two or three years of completing college, correct?). Much better results than our "full time" freestylers.............
